Therapy Predictions for 2026
It’s a new day for the New Year, and we at Zensible are back with yet another bang! With what we have noticed around 2025, there were some trends that were surfacing since then. But they did not quite mark their space ! This 2026, you will be seeing them more often! Make sure to keep note of all these trends, not only for your knowledge but also to implement them later in your practices! So are you all therapists ready to be trending this year?
👀 AI Note Taking
The era of relying solely on handwritten therapy notes is slowly dissolving. With the growing adoption of AI-powered note-taking tools, therapists now have access to faster, more accurate, documentation methods. These platforms enable them to:
Captures entire therapy sessions as transcripts.
Summarizes key insights and essential client information.
Significantly reduce administrative workload.
Zensible is one such powerful tool designed to support therapists in streamlining their practice and enhancing clinical efficiency. To date, At the close of year 2025 it has generated over 211 automated therapy notes for 63 clients. Join the growing Zen Therapist community and experience smarter, simpler documentation today
👀 Teletherapy Services
I often find myself reflecting on whether technology is ultimately a boon or a challenge for the field of mental health…a debate that may never truly conclude. With the growing normalization of online platforms such as Zoom and Google Meet, therapy is becoming increasingly accessible, particularly for individuals who are unable to attend in-person sessions. This shift not only broadens reach and inclusivity but may also contribute to greater financial sustainability for therapists by expanding opportunities.
👀 Rise of Eclectic Therapy Models
Nowadays, it often feels like clients know more about therapy models than therapists themselves (love how the tables have turned, lol). Thanks to the internet, clients can easily research potential diagnoses, therapy approaches, and what might work for them. While this can be helpful, it’s important to remember that CBT, REBT, and other models may not always be suitable for every client. So therapists, this is your cue for the year… learn, explore, and gain experience across multiple therapeutic models, and move toward becoming an eclectic therapist!
👀 Usage of Therapy Homework apps
Therapy, as we all know, is not just about talking during sessions…it is so much more! Especially when clients continue to put in equal effort outside the four walls of the therapy room. To make that experience more engaging, our techies have put on their thinking (or rather, coding) hats and created some amazing apps to make therapy even more fun. Some that you can consider using include Clarity, Headspace, DBT Coach, and Smiling Mind, Zensible… (here, therapists can send step-by-step, personalized homework tailored to each client) .
And with that, we come to the end of the predictions for the upcoming year! If you feel we’ve missed something, or if you have your own predictions to share, do let us know…we’d love to hear from you. Until the next blog post, remember: you are going to be a great therapist (or an even better one if you already are in practice) !
